Pros

Since new leadership has been infused at Toptal, there has been a remarkable difference in culture, alignment, and energy that stems from the top. This is a truly global company with more than half the company coming from outside the US. Although it is global and a completely remote team, Toptal maintains a tight culture of engaged, driven people that want to do great things and fuel growth. The fully distributed model allows people to work from anywhere, and it works because team members get their stuff done and we all hold each other accountable. As long as you do your work and do the right thing, you have the freedom to also accomplish your personal goals and a work/life balance that is much harder to achieve with a typical in-office job. It is incredible to be part of a hyper growth company that is changing the future of work. In only a few years, remote work and the freelance economy will be even more prominent, and Toptal will be at the forefront of this movement.

Cons

If you are in need of social interaction 'outside of the office' or if you're not a self-motivated/self-starter, then the fully remote work environment might not be for you.

Pros

Every day provides me opportunities to work with new people on new projects or initiatives. I'm able to contribute across the organization on a variety of projects which have broadened my knowledge and skills for the business. The people are THE BEST part about Toptal - 100's of people around the world that are incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and friendly. Lifelong friends are made at Toptal.

Cons

-The CEO is getting better but he has an elitist attitude. -The benefits/perks need to be within the industry (and general workplace) benchmark. -Recognition is hard to come by These are simple things that could be remedied quickly.

Pros

Totpal Product Team's is a a really unique place for someone to be. Surrounded by extremely smart, talented and driven people you can learn a lot , bring your skills to the next level and make huge impact. You always feel energised, pushed, motivated and excited. But what I like more is the culture of the team. People with strong values and principles that deeply care about each other and the team.

Cons

Although in the past there were some really bad stakeholders that were undermining some interesting projects and causing a lot of politics, during the last 9 months things have changed completely. With the recent executive and leadership team changes the is being transformed into a place that can foster innovation and let people realize their full potential.
